Iranian President Hassan Rouhani described constructive interaction with neighbors and the world as Tehran’s key policy.

“Undoubtedly, the country will benefit from interactions with the neighboring countries and the world,” Rouhani said on Tuesday in a meeting with ministers, governors general and managers of executive organs, IRNA reported.

President Rouhani described raising hope, vitality and creating better conditions for work and production as the key responsibilities of the authorities in the year of “supporting Iranian products.”

Rouhani said the government has taken valuable steps in the field of employment and fighting poverty.

Commenting on launching national messaging apps, he said the project is aimed at breaking the monopoly, not filtering or restricting access to such applications, president’s official website reported.

“Having powerful, safe and inexpensive messengers that can meet people’s needs will be an honor for everybody,” Rouhani said.
